FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention relates to an exercise tool, and moreparticularly, to an exercise tool devised as a toe stretcher to align,separate, and stretch toes.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

Exercise tools have long been known in prior art. Sports and yogaenthusiasts have devised a myriad of stretching tools. Recently, suchstretching tools have been applied to not only stretch larger muscles,but also toes. Several toe stretchers have been invented, where a userplaces a toe stretcher between the user's toes, effectively stretchingthe toes.

A few advantages of a toe stretcher are that it increases foot strength,increases toe and ankle flexibility, improves arches, and stretchesAchilles' tendons. Although toe stretchers devised to date havesubstantially filled this need, they are difficult to use. Existing toestretchers consist of a frame with five holes for toe insertion. Thefive holes are substantially circular, with each circle being sealedaround its perimeter. Because each circle is sealed, inserting all fivetoes has been problematic, making it difficult to put the toe stretcheron and take it off.

Therefore, it can be appreciated that there exists a continuing need fora new and improved toe stretcher that is easier to put on and take off.In this regard, the present invention substantially fulfills this need.
